We gather information in the following instances:
We collect the following categories of information.
When you utilize or subscribe to one of our services, such as signing up for an email newsletter, entering a competition, or joining an online community, we'll ask you to provide details like your name, email, and/or postal address to deliver the requested services.
In surveys or competitions, we may collect additional personal information beyond contact information, such as your gender, date of birth, marital status, and more.
When purchasing a product or service from us, we'll request your payment details along with your contact information to process the payment and grant access to our products and services.
When visiting one of our websites, we gather information about your visit, including visit duration, the sites or pages you viewed, your IP address, your location during the visit, the type of device used (e.g., mobile phone or specific desktop PC, Mac, etc.), and language identification information from your device.
When browsing one of our websites, we collect data related to your online behavior (e.g., time spent on the website, clicked items, etc.). When purchasing a product or service from us, we gather information about the products and services you bought. When registering for a newsletter or participating in survey, we may collect data on your preferences, tastes, and interests.
We gather various types of information about people for four primary reasons:
By signing up for our newsletters, you consent to us using the provided email address to send you pertinent content for the brands you've subscribed to. You can withdraw this consent for any newsletter by unsubscribing at any time.
We display advertisements on our site and in our newsletters to help maintain the majority of our content as free. We utilize cookies and similar technologies in partnership with trusted providers to show you ads we think might interest you, manage ad frequency, and assess the efficacy of ad campaigns.
We collaborate with social media networks like Facebook and Twitter to present marketing content from our brands and selected advertisers if you have visited our website, ensuring that the content shown on these platforms is relevant to you. Data gathered by these social media networks may also be anonymized and used in aggregate to improve the quality and effectiveness of our websites and marketing efforts.
To limit this type of tracking and profiling, you can adjust your account settings on Facebook and/or Twitter. You can also find more information about the pixels and cookies we use on our websites by reading our Cookies policy.
We use the information you provide to deliver the goods and/or services you have requested and to communicate with you about those products and services.
Please note that when you purchase something from us, we may contact you about your registration details, manage any account or subscription you have with us, or provide customer service. This applies even if you have opted out or declined to consent to receiving promotional emails.
When you enter one of our online competitions, we process your information to select a winner. If you have opted in to receive information from us about our products and services (e.g., subscription offers, event invitations, editorial newsletters, etc.), we use the information you provide to ensure we offer you relevant products and services based on your location, age, gender, tastes, and preferences. If you have opted in to receive news and offers from any competition sponsors, we will share your information with them.
We collaborate with our partners in the luxury goods, fashion, travel, and retail industries to present you with exceptional offers and opportunities via email or post.

We will not disclose your personal information to anyone; the messages will come from us, and you can unsubscribe from these messages at any time.
We process any information you provide when addressing any complaints or inquiries made by you or on your behalf in a legal manner.
We may share your personal information in the following cases:
We collaborate with service providers to carry out certain tasks on our behalf, such as analysis, payments, marketing, identity management, and IT services. This may involve sharing your personal and non-personal site usage information to provide aggregated demographic data about our audiences. Your personal data may be shared with these providers for the necessary tasks, but they are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes. Any third-party processing of your data on our behalf adheres to security and confidentiality obligations consistent with this privacy notice and applicable law.
We may disclose depersonalized data (e.g., aggregated statistics) about our products and services' audiences and/or research participants to potential partners, advertisers, investors, and other reputable third parties for lawful purposes. These statistics will never contain identifiable personal information.
With your explicit consent, we may share your information with other companies we collaborate with, such as competition sponsors. Whenever we share your information with another company, we will always request your permission, name the company, and clearly state that your information will be shared with another organization.
Under specific circumstances, we may be required by law, court order, or governmental authority to disclose certain personal information. We reserve the right to comply with any such legally binding request.
Please be aware that our Privacy Notice does not extend to third-party websites or services that may be linked to or from our websites. These external sites and services operate independently and have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
When you click on a link to a third-party website or service, you will leave our website and be subject to the privacy policy of the new site. We cannot control or assume responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of these external sites or services.

We encourage you to exercise caution and to review the privacy statements of each website or service you interact with to ensure that you are comfortable with their privacy practices before providing any personal information.
We believe in being transparent about our relationships with affiliate partners. We collaborate with various affiliate partners, and we may include affiliate links in our content. These links direct you to third-party websites where you can purchase products or services.
When you make a purchase through one of these affiliate links, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This commission helps us to continue providing you with high-quality content and recommendations.
Please note that our editorial content and recommendations are not influenced by our affiliate partnerships. We strive to provide unbiased, genuine suggestions and reviews to our readers, ensuring that our content maintains its integrity and credibility.
We encourage you to read and understand the privacy policies of our affiliate partners when you visit their websites through our affiliate links.
